German movie "Rommel"?
In the German movie "Rommel", after the failure of Valkrie, it all fell apart. It is well known the Kluge was summoned to Berlin to face Hitler and poisoned himself on the way, (which was not portrayed, but implied).
BUT before that, a scene was played out where a prominent general was driving on the way to Berlin and told his driver to stop near the Verdun battlefield, where he stepped out and shot himself.
WHO was this general?

Possibly Major General Henning von Tresckow. He didn't shoot himself though, he used a hand grenade to kill himself.
His last words were: "The whole world will vilify us now, but I am still totally convinced that we did the right thing. Hitler is the archenemy not only of Germany but of the world. When, in few hours' time, I go before God to account for what I have done and left undone, I know I will be able to justify what I did in the struggle against Hitler. God promised Abraham that He would not destroy Sodom if only ten righteous men could be found in the city, and so I hope for our sake God will not destroy Germany. No one among us can complain about dying, for whoever joined our ranks put on the shirt of Nessus. A man's moral worth is established only at the point where he is ready to give his life in defense of his convictions."

I haven't seen the movie. Possibly Ludwig Beck or Carl-Heinrich von Stülpnagel.
